Madness makes me smoke Madness made me broke Madness makes a joke Of what was serious before Though since I went mad I laugh more But cry too as an either/or Doing as it does Madness made me do it The mad way a bad way for me to be I would be glad to be madness-free A sad way the hard way ultimately When at it then to it Being as I was Arriving only to depart Madness stops me before I start When my mind tries to break my heart And I look then see More against than for Madness maddens me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXIII
